After suf fering several violent attacks of nausea, etc., I went to the Infirm ary, where I stayed for two days. Later, on the advice of my adviser, Mr. W. Wells, I sent the Infirmary Mil to the U.

On Foreign Policy f By. Paul Komisaruk Upholding tiie minority viewpoint on tile Lend-Lease bill, tomorrow night in Memorial hall, Senator Ger ald .P- Nye, North Dakota's ; "old guard" isolationist, is expected to stir up opposition from a Carolina .stu dent body overwhelmingly in favor of the bill according to the Carolina Po litical union poll of January 22. Nye, who will speak at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the CPU, has been a bitter opponent of the bill since its introduction into the House of. Representatives, and has claimed that the bill would lead "us blindly to war," and that the "American peo ple would have overwhelmingly re jected the bill had it been proposed before the November election." t Opposition Here Expected Opposition to Nye on the Carolina campus is almost certain to rise from the recently. united Student Defend ers of Democracy , and Committee to Aid the Allies. These two groups, numbering 600 members, are expected to take full advantage of the open forum period that will follow Nye's speech to attack the stand that the 49 year bid Senator has taken on the bill, and all other recent New Deal legislation.- Nye opposed the conscription bill and the destroyer deal to England. He has repeatedly maintained that Eng land is "the ace aggressor,, of all times" and there is no reason to be lieve that "the leopard has changed its spots ... that the British imperial policy has undergone a transforma tion , or fallen under the control of men with new ideas." Nye, politically the. direct antithe sis of Claude Pepper, the CPU's last speaker will offer an interesting con trast to the student body of two Sena torial leaders on the oposite sides of the political fence. Aside from discussion of the Lend Lease bill, which will come ,up . for senatorial vote next week, no indica tion has been given of what else Nye will say while discussing "America and the Present World Crisis." With his wife he will arrive at Ra leigh tomorrow afternoon at 4:45. At See SENATOR NYE, page U. Swalin Concert Is Well Received Enthusiastically received by a large audience, Dr. Benjamin F.

Houston Explains Message of Conflict In Play as Four-Day Run Ends Tonight Author Praises Playmakers' Work By Shirley Hobbs "The message of my play is that we need that powerful force found only in leaders but that it must not be unbridled," says Noel Houston fol lowing the premiere of his latest play, "The Marauders," at the Uni versity. The play revolves about Mar della and her father who possess an indomitable will to succeed and will crush everything in their way. Mar della's husband and her sisters are the victims of her plundering. She has a fiery force that is consuming even her. . "Mardella is Hitler," says Houston. "Both possess the same crushing power, the same ruthlessness. But that ugly drive within the individual has constructed the beauty and Nomination of Clark Ey Friends of Administration Tar Heel Emerges with Idea You HaLveTo Make It Work The Daily Tab Heel tomorrow will emerge with the staff's pet and al most only idea in years. . The brainstorm is a special Sunday feature section, designed to portray interesting developments about the campus in a more graphic and thor ough manner .than space will permit in the regular four pages. i It would be supported by the addi tional advertising it would make pos sible and by any profit left over from the regular four pages. Last quarter this profit amounted to about $1,000, but due to a normal business curve and the recent reduction in fees, it will be considerably less for the winter and spring quarters. The feature section was selected as the addition to the paper most need ed, most likely to meet approval of the student body, and financially the most sound. Nazis Threaten Bombing Of Vital Salonika Port Yugoslavia Reported Joining Axis Powers By United Press . SOFIA, March 7 Threats of a "total bombing" of Salonika by Ger man planes to force Greece into a quick peace with Italy was foreseen tonight as great masses of Nazi troops, tanks, and mechanized units rushed to the Turkish and Greek frontier. Diplomatic and military quarters hinted that Adolf Hitler might serve an ultimatum on the Athens govern ment simultaneous with a bombing of Salonika. Informed quarters believed that Germany, anxious to avoid war in the Balkans, would not invade Greece from the Bulgarian frontier unless there seems little chance of compelling the Greeks to submit to a peace. A bombing attack on Salonika as a re minder of German strength was re garded as more probable. (Rumors circulated at Belgrade that Germany's attack on Greece, heralded perhaps by aerial bombardment, will be launched Saturday. In London neu tral diplomatic quarters believed that Greeoe, faced with enormous odds, would not attempt to defend Salonika and the Macedonian strip facing Bul garia.) Formal Signing of Pact Expected Within Few Days BELGRADE, March 7 Yugoslavia was said in highly reliable quarters tonight to have agreed to a friendship and non-aggression pact with Adolf Hitler, clearing the way for a Ger man attack on Greece unless the lat ter capitulates to a dictated peace. The Yugoslav-German pact, mak ing complete Hitler's encirclement of Greece,-will be signed ceremoniously within a few days, it was said, and will represent the Belgrade government's thesis of a middle-course solution. Germany was said to have suggested See NEWS BRIEFS, page 2. strength of our- country, the great bridges, the skyscrapers. Weaklings cannot do anything great. America is that ugly powerful force held in check. Mardella and Hitler are the same thing without any. reins." Houston wrote two acts" of 'a play when Hitler marched into Holland and Belgium. Bfe tore them up when the dictator conquered France. That threw a new light on "The Maraud ers", and made Houston realize that people possessed of a powerful force could be more terrible than he had thought. No Hope for the Civilized "My character of Eleanor, Mar della's sister is the kind of civilized person we are all striving to be," he says. "She can think in terms of the future. She is the real pacifist who See HOUSTON, page AV Whether, it will become a regular weekly addition depends upon to what extent the Publications Union board agrees with that point of view. Mon day' afternoon permission will be sought to print the supplement every Week. ' ' ' .' . ' ' - . The reception of tomorrow's first issue probably will be a major factor in the board's deliberations. The paper's staff can determine the reac tion among advertisers, but concerning student opinion, the staff is likely to be somewhat biased or partial. So the only way to measure student reaction is for the students them selves to do it, by writing letters, cards, petitions, etc, in time to be presented to the board Monday after noon. It would be greatly appreciated if you would look over tomorrow's sup plement with pencil and paper nearby. UNC Debates W&M Tonight Waller, Barnes Speak for Carolina "Resolved, that . the emancipated woman is a menace" is the question for debate with the women's team from William and Mary at 7:30 to night in Gerrard hall. : ' ' " '" "Skid" Waller and Pinky Barnes will uphold the affirmative for Caro lina.

" -' By Orville Campbell .The nomination of David dark, arch-critic of President Frank Gra ham and the liberal atmospbfre of the University, to the board of trustees was made possible by friends of Presi dent Graham, it was learned last night from authoritative sources. According to the information gath ered, Clark's nomination was engin eered and brought about by intimate friends and staunch supporters of President Graham. , The Associated Press dispatch from Raleigh reporting the committee 'ac tion on the trustees stated, "Principal discussion at the meeting tonight hinged about David Clark, of Char lotte, who has been a frequent critic of Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the University Nominated by Vogler "Clark was nominated by Repre sentative Vogler of Mecklenburg, and friends of Dr. Graham let it be known jthat the president did not object to Clark's appointment." Expressing the same opinion as the Associated Press report, the Raleigh News and Observer stated that, "Clark, an alumnus of State college, was advanced for a position on the board two years ago but was defeated. Last night his election was brought about by friends of Dr. Graham, who took the position that the University was big enough and liberal enough to represent all points of view." Careful investigation confirms both reports. The . committees which made; the nominations were headed by Lawrence Wallace of ' Johnston county and Tom CBerry of Wayne county. Both com mittees were; controlled by friends of President Graham. Committee mem bers, it was learned, felt that a crown ing expression of the liberalism of the University and of Dr. Graham would See NOMINATION, page A.
